WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HSE.

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) is a general term for regulations, methods and processes designed to help protect workers, the environment and the public from harm. The methods and processes in HSE are learned through training and re-training of those exposed to hazards.

The Factories Act of 1987 and the cap 126 in 1990 and the factories act of 2004 by the Federal Government of Nigeria makes it compulsory for employers to provide a safe workplace for their employees.

A safe work environment – without hazards and accidents – can be achieved through effective implementation of company-wide health and safety (HSE) management system. Thus training and re-training personnel on the global best practice in health and safety cannot be ignored.
